In Week 3, the Year 7 and 8 French students went to a concert at St Peter’s College. Etienne, the French educator and rock star, treated French learners from across the city to an hour of his hit songs as part of his world tour. These songs have proven a hit in the class as they provide a fun and interactive way of learning French. The students loved the chance to dance, sing and have fun. It was a wonderful experience, and the students were exemplary in showcasing their Loreto spirit to the wider community. 

“This concert was very fun, interactive, inclusive and downright funny. Etienne was intent on getting everyone involved and made sure everyone who wanted something signed got something signed. The songs were very memorable and a great and fun way to learn important French, it was an amazing concert!”

Lily Paech, Year 7

“It was a unique, pleasant and engaging experience. Not only did Etienne explain the meaning behind his music, but he brought passion to the stage, interacting with the crowd to make it such a memorable performance for all. It is certainly something I will never forget.”
